Falstone is a small village and civil parish in Northumberland, England, just east of Kielder Water. The village is 8 miles (13 km) from the Anglo–Scottish border. Much of the village is clustered around its two churches, St. Peter's Anglican and the United Reformed Church.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River North Tyne, about 20 m from the middle of Falstone's gauges. It flows into the River Tyne about 44 km downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River North Tyne nearest the middle of Falstone's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
